How do Classes work?

[godofrawr]

Your character level is per class. So say you are, most commonly, 10-12 on your main class, and then you get the crafting quest, and pick up weaver. When you equip the "weapon" for weaver, a needle, your level switches to 1, because you are level one in weaving, when you re-equip your main class weapon, your level goes back to 10-12, where ever you were in that other class.

There is no global level, just what level you are in that particular class.

Thanks a ton for explaining that. I was curious about the same thing to be honest. I intentionally read nothing about this game coming into it, but it's not quite a simplistic as your run-of-the-mill MMO.
